The award, designated as GSS23452, was executed through a direct award call-off from a framework agreement with HAYS Specialist Recruitment Limited. Classified under the CPV code 79620000, the industry category is supply services of personnel including temporary staff, with geographic service delivery in the United Kingdom.
